Global Medical Protective Masks Market Size, Share & Trends Report, by Type (Disposable Masks and Reusable Masks), by Application (Industrial, Individual, Hospital & Clinic) Forecast (2022-2028)

The global medical protective masks market is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR during the forecast period (2022-2028). The rise in the prevalence of airborne diseases such as Tuberculosis (TB), influenza, and others is anticipated to drive the growth of the global medical protective masks market.  According to National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), around 10 million individuals aged 65 years and older are at risk of contracting influenza, and it can be estimated that the lack of vaccination strategy would lead to more than 2 million cases and about 30,000 mortalities in Italy. Also, as per the data published by WHO, in 2020, an estimated 10 million people fell ill with tuberculosis (TB) globally, out of which 5.6 million are men, 3.3 million are women and 1.1 million are children. Thus, the rising prevalence of airborne diseases is anticipated to fuel the demand for the global medical protective masks market.

Moreover, the use of medical protective masks in areas with infectious pandemics such as SARS-CoV-2 and others is anticipated to drive the growth of the market. For instance, in March 2020, according to World Health Organization (WHO), more than 105 countries have been affected by SARS-CoV-2 infection. Moreover, in 2020, an estimated 114253 SARS-CoV-2 infections were reported followed by 4000 deaths globally. Therefore, the use of medical protective masks is anticipated to avoid the transmission of infection, which in turn will fuel the demand for the global medical protective masks market.

Looking toward the demand for medical protective masks, key market players are adopting various strategies including mergers & acquisitions, geographical expansion, partnerships and collaborations, and new product launches, to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in August 2020, Karam Industries had launched 8 variants of disposable masks to filter air contaminants which assist the user to breathe germ-free air. These masks are equipped with a wrap-around design that covers the full face. According to the company, these masks are designed to offer protection to industrial workers and frontline workers. Thus, such lunches are anticipated to drive the growth of the global medical protective masks market.
